Review of Private bird behavior consultations, October 05, 2009

I called Christine for help with my parrot and his behavior, and she returned my call with some very good information that I was not aware of. she seems very knowlegable, and had a wealth of information to help me get started on the right track.

Thank You Christine

Review of Private dog behavior consultations, August 28, 2009

The 2 1/2 hour consultation in my home with Christine was intense and informative. I was told that I would receive, in a day or two, my report. I was also to receive free email and phone support for the life of the dog. It has been nearly three weeks now and I have not received the report nor have I received an answer to the one simple question I emailed Christine. She found time to twitter 29 times in the 10 days following our visit but not to answer my question or send my report. She has cashed my check but I have not received the advertised services of her company. I would not recommend Christine and her company to anyone.

Cons:
Not responsive

Teacher's Response:

I'm sorry that you were unhappy with my service Judy, but I must respectfully disagree with your statement that you were not provided with the products and services promised. Whidbey Island is outside my service area but another client had already hired me and agreed to pay my travel charges. When that client canceled, I came out to see you anyway as promised, at no additional charge.

You received a three hour, private behavior consultation for multiple issues, a folder full of instructional handouts, clickers, treat bag, and a 6 page Behavior Modification Report. I spent 3 hours commuting by ferry. When I discovered you had not received your report, I resent your report and also refunded your money. Your consultation required 6 hours of my time and $30 out of pocket expenses. Despite everything, I also mailed a copy of your report to your veterinarian (more time and money spent).

Again, I'm sorry that my services did not meet with your expectations but you did receive everything promised to you and at no cost. I hope that in the end, you will be happier with your wonderful dog's behavior.

Warmest Regards,
